I have never tried to grow these before. I was so excited to see how fast the came up after planting. Can't wait till they bloom.
Hardy plants arrived. Planted per directions. Growth apparent. Healthy stock
Despite what the production information said about needing 6-8 weeks at temperatures below 50 at night, these actually sprouted up within 2-3 weeks of planting in the ground. The bulbs seemed really dried out when they arrived, so I was skeptical they would grow. But it appears most/all of them have come up! They haven't gotten buds yet, as it's likely too early, but I'm excited for them to bloom!
These root "bulbs" came in great condition. I planted them in seedling pots just to make sure they were not duds; they were not duds, they sprouted within 10 days and are doing great. They will be planted in a raised bed next week.
